Although Hua Mujiao had always felt that Shangguan Yi was targeting her everywhere, and they were half-siblings, they didn't like each other at all.

However, Shangguan Yi had always been on her side at critical moments.

"I …" Wei Hanshuang was rendered speechless as she hurriedly knelt in front of him.

"Your majesty, chenqie absolutely believes in the emperor's intentions. However, this bright yellow cloth was given to me by Imperial Concubine Xi. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, please ask the palace maid beside chenqie. She was present that day and can bear witness for chenqie."

Wei Hanshuang had never expected that the hibiscus had actually set her up.

On that day, she had also thought that this bright yellow cloth was extremely beautiful, and that it was the color of dragons and phoenixes.

Ever since she was young, she had been taught to be the phoenix among dragons. Even though she knew that this bright yellow was only fit for the Empress to wear, she had wanted to tell them that only she could match this bright yellow and become the Empress in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, she dug her own grave …

"Even if it's as you say, esteemed Ning Concubine, how are you going to explain the phoenix embroidered with needle and thread?"

Suddenly, Shangguan Yi glanced at the phoenix on Wei Hanshuang's back and said.

His words caused Wei Hanshuang to be unable to continue to explain. Tears welled up in her eyes and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead.

"Your Majesty, chenqie felt that the phoenix was very beautiful, which was why she had people embroider it. Your Majesty, you have to believe in chenqie. Your Majesty …"

It was impossible to explain. Wei Hanshuang only said 'nice' to deal with it, but she also knew that it was ridiculous.

"Bullsh * t!" As your concubine, how could 'Phoenix' be something you can think of? "

After a long while, Bai Zhan Ke spoke up coldly.

He didn't forget to move his feet a bit to prevent Wei Hanshuang from touching him.

Shangguan Yi added, "I'm sure all the ministers present know that since ancient times, concubine's drooling over the position of empress is taboo. Consort Ning, you can't possibly not understand this logic, right?"

Although everyone knew about it, who amongst the imperial concubines didn't want to become Empress?

However, everyone understood this logic. They could only bury their thoughts in the depths of their hearts and didn't dare to reveal it.

Bai Zhan Ke didn't have the patience to be entangled in this matter.

"Concubine Ning, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, chenqie has absolutely no wish to become the Empress. Your Majesty, please trust chenqie. Chenqie truly does not have one." This cloth was given to chenqie by Hua Mu Jin. It must be her, she wanted to harm chenqie. This was all part of Hua Mu Jin's scheme, your majesty … "

Wei Hanshuang had nothing to refute, so she could only turn her spearhead towards Hua Mu Jin.

Hua Mujiao curled his lips as he coldly laughed, as if he had expected that she would act in such a way.

"Esteemed Ning Xiaoyao, there's no proof, so how can you throw dirty water on me?" That day, the cloth was stolen, and you refused to let the guards search Weiyang Palace.

"Hua Mujiao, you're slandering us!"

Hua Mujing mentioned the matter of Wei Hanshuang rejecting the guards' search that day. Wei Hanshuang knew that she wanted to add another crime to her list.

Wei Hanshuang raised her head and roared.

Hua Mujiao pretended to be afraid and retreated, hiding half of her body behind Bai Zhan Ke.

This action enraged Wei Hanshuang, and all the calmness and calmness he had put on earlier disappeared without a trace.

She suddenly stood up and stretched out her hand towards Hibiscus Flower, preparing to pull off Hibiscus Flower's hair.

"Hua Mu Jin, you slut, today I will tear your mouth to shreds!"

"How dare you!"

Wei Hanshuang had just stretched out her hand when she was sent flying by Bai Zhan's palm.

"Someone, pull Madam Ning down and send her to the Sky Prison!"

"No, your majesty, you can't! Chenqie is your concubine! Your majesty, you can't send your concubine to prison! Your majesty …"

As an imperial concubine, being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison was the most shameful thing that Wei Hanshuang knew.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Resisting the pain in her chest, she continued to kneel in front of Bai Zhan Ke, begging with all her might.

"Your Majesty, hold on …"

After enduring for a long time, the Left Prime Minister finally couldn't hold on any longer and stood up.

"Your Majesty, Esteemed Empress Ning has always been obedient. This subject doesn't think she would covet the position of Empress." Moreover, this official had watched esteemed Ning Xiaoyao grow up. Ever since she became sensible, she'd never left the Prime Minister's estate and knew very few people. How could she have anything to do with someone in black? This is simply a fantasy story. "

When he said these words, the Left Prime Minister didn't forget to look at Hua Mu Jin as if he wanted to devour her alive, and his gaze was horrifying.

Prime Minister Zuo had stepped forward as Shangguan Yi had expected.

"There are very few people that Consort Ning knows, but that doesn't mean you know very few people, Prime Minister Zuo!" "As far as I know, the Prime Minister's Estate of the Left is a place where many martial arts cultivators are nurtured."

"General Shangguan, there are indeed many people in the martial arts world in the Prime Minister's house, but I've invited them to guard the place." General Shangguan, there are indeed many in the martial arts world in the Prime Minister's house, but they've been invited by me to guard the palace.

Facing Shangguan Yi, the Left Prime Minister didn't seem to care about him at all, turning back to vent his anger.

"Prime Minister, you said that yourself. This general didn't say it, so all the ministers present should have heard it as well, right?"

"You …" The Prime Minister was so angered by Shangguan Yi's words that he wanted to vomit blood. He turned to look at the gathered ministers, only to see that they were all looking at him with the same expression. He understood immediately.

The few ministers who had been part of the empress dowager's faction had somehow turned against the Bai Zhan Ke at some point?

"Your majesty, why are you blaming me for this? If Your Majesty really wants to accuse this subject of colluding with the martial arts world, then this subject will absolutely not accept it!" This subject will definitely report this matter to the empress dowager and tell her to restore this subject's innocence! "

Bai Zhan Ke's lips moved, his voice as cold as ice, "Since the opening of Huan Yue's dynasty, the officials of the imperial court have been forbidden to interact with the people of the martial arts world. Prime Minister Zuo knows that he has committed the offense, but does he want to rebel by relying on the influence of the martial arts world?"

Bai Lingyu looked at the ministers, then looked at the Left Prime Minister kneeling on the ground. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, but he did not say anything.

"Rebel? "Hmph, aside from colluding with the martial world, the Emperor also wants to frame this subject as a rebel?"

"This Emperor will find out once we investigate if there is any intent to rebel!" Bai Zhan Ke suddenly ordered, "Men, detain Imperial Concubine Ning and Prime Minister Zuo temporarily. "General Shangguan obeyed and immediately sent people to the Prime Minister's residence to search. Those who are in the martial arts world will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Haha …" Abruptly, the Prime Minister laughed out loud. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the trap of Hua Mujiao and Bai Qi.

"So the Emperor had set up a trap here. This subject actually knows nothing at all." After saying that, the Prime Minister turned his gaze towards the ministers, pointed at them and said with hatred.

"You, you guys have guts, you actually dared to betray …" After a pause, the Left Prime Minister didn't say who he was betraying and continued, "One day, you will regret it!"

With that, the Left Prime Minister was pushed down by the guards.

"No, Your Majesty. Chenqie's matter definitely has nothing to do with Father. Your Majesty, please bypass Father. Your Majesty …"

When she was dragged down again, Wei Hanshuang broke away from the guard who was dragging her, rushed up to Bai Zhan Ke, and begged while kneeling. But what she got instead was a cold stare from Bai Zhan Ke.

"Pull it down!"

The imperial bodyguard stepped forward, lifted Wei Hanshuang up, and dragged her down.

"Hua Mu Jin, you slut dared to harm me. One day, don't fall into my hands, I, Wei Han Shuang, swear that I will make you feel worse than death! "Flower Hibiscus, slut …"

When Wei Hanshuang's voice disappeared, Shangguan Yi had also left with his men to search the Residence of Prime Minister Zuo.

On the other hand, Bai Ling Yu put away his expression as if he was watching a show, smiled, and said to Bai Zhan Ke: "This was supposed to be a fun hunt, who would have thought that there would be such a farce? I presume that royal brother is also tired, so why don't we just give up on today's hunt? Wait until royal brother has sorted out his emotions, then we can start tomorrow's hunt. "

Looking at the white feathers, Hua Mu Jin frowned.

Logically speaking, other than the Minister of the Left, the Minister of the Left was promoted by his mother, so why couldn't he see any signs of pity or help the Prime Minister?

Moreover, at this moment, the white feathers looked rather relaxed.

"All of you, leave!"

After agreeing with Bai Linyu's words, Bai Qi directly ordered everyone to back off. In such a large open space, only Hua Mujiao, Bai Linyu, and Bai Lingyu remained.

Bai Lingyu stood on the spot, the fan in his hand flapped in the air as he sneered, "Royal brother, you are such a scheming man. With just a piece of cloth, you managed to get rid of Prime Minister Zuo. Perhaps General Shangguan would find something when he went to the Residence of the Left Prime Minister? "

Facing Bai Linyu's line of sight, the look on her face didn't change at all.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile.

"Whether or not I can find anything from Prime Minister Zuo has to wait for Shangguan Aiqing to come back before I can know." If fifth brother has such a conclusion, do you know something? "

He had originally wanted to win the battle, but he hadn't expected that he would be turned into a general by the war.

With a slight smile on his lips, Bai Linyu's hand that was holding the fan hit her palm twice more.

"My royal brother must be joking. This servant was only guessing, how could he dare to make such a presumptuous claim?" However, Chendi was a bit curious. If the sin of the Left Prime Minister rebelling is confirmed, then how does royal brother plan to punish him? "

As he said this, Bai Linyu's gaze suddenly shifted to the flower hibiscus.

Seeing him look over, Hua Mujiao coldly stared at Bai Lingyu, but didn't say anything.

Bai Zhan Ge's eyes narrowed, and he retreated a few steps back, shielding Hua Mujiao behind him.

"The Prime Minister has not decided on the crime of rebelling yet, so isn't fifth brother saying this a little too early?" "Or do you think that I have the intention to slander the Prime Minister?"

"Junior brother doesn't dare!"

He raised his head to look at the sun in the sky and said, "Calculating the time, it's almost noon. This subject shall not disturb Imperial Brother and Empress Xi to have a meal. This subject will take his leave!"

At this sort of time, Bai Linyu would always retreat after understanding the difficulty of the matter, bowing as she left.

After Bai Linyu left, Hua Mujiao's face instantly darkened. She angrily looked at Bai Zhanji, and coldly asked, "Bai Zhanji, are you going to use me?"
